vucinic would also be good to have here, i dont see vucinic avatars or his name thrown around every other post, whys that?

That's because he is not as handsome. And also because I am a troll. I'm a girl too. And an Azzurri fan above all. Does it add up now?

I love the "I'm not saying he's better than Aguero but........". It's obvious that they're itching to say that Rossi is better

Well concluded, can't wait for your next trick.

i have nothing against rossi, you know where i stand as far as rating his skills(i d rather have mirko). you dont find it odd that all those who are ok to get him instead of aguero are azzurri fans?

 

[Fake Melo]

The Azzurri hateboys just got knocked the fuck out.

Seriously, this "Azzurri fans rates Rossi because he is Italian"-shit is really boring and pathetic. Get new material already.

On this page you have several Azzurri fans saying Rossi is good, Aguero is better.

Who the fuck are you to say we mean otherwise, what the fuck do you know? Seriously...

The generalization is really laughable. Grow the fuck up.

Why would Rossi play for the US he has 100% Italian blood and he was living in Italy as a teenager. In such cases 99% of the players will choose the team of their parents.

Ok, there is something I noticed and I might be way off the mark, but I want to ask something the guys who seem to be pro-Rossi the most.

So...

1. How many of you have Italian roots?
2. How many of you are from the USA?
3. How many of you support the Azzurri and prefer them to the NT of the country you live in?

I expect only one negative answer in only one of the questions, but I could be wrong.

Exactly.

No because they don't "hate" him (for being an Azzurri player or for deciding to play for a team he legally had the right to) so they can settle with having him in case we fail to get Aguero.

I(conveniently labeled as Azzurri fans who, for being Azzurri fans, are not allowed to rate an Italian player highly or else they are automatically considered biased

But that comes with the territory, Hoori. Of course since you love the Azzurri, you'll give extra points to Azzurri players. That's human nature. All sorts of people here have used Rossi's time with the national team to try to convince everyone he's a great player... even when the only tournament he's played in is the Confederations Cup, one that my country reached the final in. Charlie Davies was fantastic there. But would I overrate him because of it? Of course not. I love the player, but he wouldn't be a good option for our team.

All of these comparisons to Aguero and Del Piero are absurd and only purported by Azzurri fans. That's a fact.

Even better, the hatred is so ridiculously stupid that the "if he comes I won't support him" joke of a comment is not even noticed. Go ahead

Since I support country before club, I will not support Rossi. He's a traitor and does not deserve my support. If that makes me a terrible Juve fan, so be it. Those that claim so don't understand how international football works.

I have nothing against Rossi at all. I hope he comes to Arsenal

so you think i hate rossi because he plays for the azzurri? where does that leave the likes of buffon and chiellini?

I know for a fact that at least three are American and support Italy over the US. That's a shame, but they are living their life dreams through Rossi, so he's a major hero in their eyes.

This is my main problem with buying Rossi or Vucinic ....

The attack is the least of our problems. It does need to be strengthened, but we can all agree that it doesn't need as much intervention as the midfield and the defense do.
If we do make changes in attack (after already buying Quag and Matri) then the only acceptable intervention will be getting a world class player.
If we don't get a world class player there, then I seriously prefer not to splash +18m eur on an attacker when we have much more urgent needs in midfield and defense.

So the questions are:
- Are you willing to sacrifice the other parts of the team in order to pay 35-40 million for Aguero?
- Are you willing to splash 25-30m eur for Rossi instead of strengthening the defense or midfield with these money?

 

[adriano_c]

CB, LW, CM should all be priorities ahead of FW, yeah.

-edit.

Hell, LB also.

Fuck a Ziegler.

Again, you are contradicting yourself. If I give Rossi extra points it's my humane nature, right? So where has your humane nature gone now that you don't want Davies at Juve?

So, no, I don't give Rossi extra points. If you are biased enough to think that Donovan deserves to play at Juve, it is your problem, your very personal problem. It doesn't mean I'd want any player at Juve merely because they are Italian. I have always complained about our board trying to build an "Ital-juve" with those average at best Italian players while not considering the likes of Cassano, Balotelli or Rossi.

Since I support country before club, I will not support Rossi. He's a traitor and does not deserve my support. If that makes me a terrible Juve fan, so be it. Those that claim so don't understand how international football works.

It's your choice whether to support Rossi or not, that part of my comment was for those who never notice this ridiculous kind of supporting a team while whining about how Azzurri fans here are overrating Rossi.

No.

[king Ale]

so you think i hate rossi because he plays for the azzurri? where does that leave the likes of buffon and chiellini?

OR "for deciding to play for a team he legally had the right to"

I actually never wanted us to spend big on attack this year especially after finalizing Quag and Mtari's deals. It's apparently bound to happen though. Aguero? I'll be happy like mad if he comes, Rossi? I'd love to have him here too. I rate him and I believe he is a very good player. If for this, I'm an Azzurri fan who is overrating Rossi well I think there is not much to discuss over this anymore.

So, no, I don't give Rossi extra points. If you are biased enough to think that Donovan deserves to play at Juve, it is your problem, your very personal problem.

I have always complained about our board trying to build an "Ital-juve" with those average at best Italian players while not considering the likes of Cassano, Balotelli or Rossi.

Donovan is a better player than Pepe. So if he was Italian, he could very well be at Juve and all of you Azzurri fans would adore him. But since he's not, he's just some useless American player.

Obviously this sort of bias exists. If you can't see that, then you are part of the problem.
